Gourmet Magazine dies after 70 years

Publisher Conde Nast just announced today that Gourmet magazine is expected to shut down by the end of the year. The magazine has gathered more than a million devoted followers for over nearly 70 years of publication and the last issue of the glossy magazine will be printed in November.

There were rumors already before the announcement therefore it didn’t give me a shock after learning the Gourmet’s demise after all, the magazine is considered as an institution. However, aside from closing down Gourmet magazine, Condé Nast said it was also shutting down two wedding magazines such as Elegant Bride and Modern Bride along with the parenting magazine, Cookie.

But according to Conde Nast, the brand Gourmet will stay in used for book publishing and TV programming thus the Gourmet recipes will still be viewed on Epicurios.com
